What one chaplain is doing to help the state with the nation's highest ratio of children in the foster care system.
Jesus told his disciples that the fields are ripe for harvest. Chaplain Brian Shearer has seen this firsthand.
Russ Cockrum has been a hospital chaplain, police chaplain, motorcycle chaplain, soldier, pastor, and presbyter. Now, at the age when most men are contemplating retirement, he is adding a new job to his portfolio: the first representative to missionary chaplains. Cockrum will be in a pastoral role to Chaplaincy missionary families, and missionary associates from around the nation. These missionaries are in diverse ministries such as motorcycle, trucking, rodeo, orphan care, prison evangelism, human trafficking, and rock climbing. What they have in common is that they must raise their own support, which Cockrum has been doing for 15 years as an AG U.S. missionary chaplain.
